How to easily make kefir, without starter, the pioneer way.

[@kalakala10011]

Thank you ! I did extensive research and you have got it right. As time and batches progress you will land with full on kefir grains. It does take time to become a full bouquet of probiotics and nutrients, but your way is the right way. I do not know why people think everything needs to be bought. Its quicker to use a starter, but by no means the only way! Those teams of scientists are lying. As per usual we do not know who is paying for their research or who the scientists are. Im following for more valuable information.

[@CityOfTinyLines]

Its more the people who pay the scientists that are lying. There's no money in truth after all.

[@danielmacleon3008]

Can you please list some of your research. I've not been able to find anything about creating your own grains. Thanks.

[@CityOfTinyLines]

@@danielmacleon3008 Thank you for that comment. All my research comes up with is you have to start with animal skin milk contoiners up a mountain in Mongolia or something like that.

[@kalakala10011]

@@danielmacleon3008 I did research on AI, there are a few. If one gives you an answer, take the answer and turn it into a question for the next AI. You get some very good info that way.

Its not kefir without using actual kefir grains. Good researching will tell you that. This video is a good example of misleading

[@theenlightenedhomesteader5822]

Hello all you lovely people who took the time to watch my video. Much love to you and even more for my subscribers!💓💗 I did a bit more experimenting and I noticed that straining the kefir makes it a wonderful creamy texture, so that is how I will be preparing it. Also the sour dough starter I made with equal parts flour and kefir turned out delightful! I just made pancakes with some discard. They are delicious! I will show a video of the starter soon! Many thanks again and good vibes to you all!💞💓💞

Is this clabber the exact same thing as milk kefir grains - you know, the milk kefir grains being sent in the mail for one teaspoon starting at $15 and going up in price from there? Thank you & God Bless.

Greetings from Kentucky. Thank You so much.🥰 I had no idea we could make the grains like this from scratch! You helped me out alot, as I lost my grains a while back and have been unable to find any more....without paying a ridiculous price which I refused to do, as I gave tons of them away when I had them.

Thank you for the tips. Any other tips for Kiefer grains “long-term” storage (dried or frozen).

[@kadster65]

Thank you! You have no idea how hard I've looked to find someone who shows us how the actual kefir grains come into being. I don't think our ancestors ran down to the local health food store to buy these mysterious grains. Whenever we fall on hard times - and it's looking like we eventually may - we need to know how to do these things the old way.

Cám ơn chị ,tôi đã học được công thức của chị từ hạt sữa kefir ( nhưng cách làm water kefir ).Như thế nào ,tôi chưa tìm ra cách để làm loại hạt này .

[@TheElysianPath]

I had some raw milk that was starting to turn so I put some grains I took out of a batch of Kroger that I started with purchased starter. I have a lot of whey and some curds… the curds I can use but what does one do with the whey? It tastes different. I will start making whatever this is without buying more kiefer starter. I think it is close enough to kiefer for me. Love that I can make small quantities fresh.

Yes, I wonder about how they did things all the time, especially now... missing my electricity cause of the storm. But I do make kefir. 😊

[@AndreAndFriends]

I make my own kefir. TJ plain kefir. Add 1 cup of TJ plain kefir to a galon of whole milk. Mixe it. Leave it in a car on a hot day. You just made 1 gallon of a delicious TJ style kefir.

[@beverlycharles6534]

😮How many hours in the car??? 🤣🤣🤣 How did it taste? Was it yeasty & thick like yogurt?

[@beverlycharles6534]

😂😂😂. Great! You are now an official distinguished scientist!! Lol. The TJ / store bought Kefir has about 12 strains and homemade has like 60 and is just as easy to make but still you save a ton of money that way and your gut is happy too. A whole gallon kefir for only $6 or $7 the REALLY easy way. I am for it!!! 😊🎉😊 I am not sure how long kefir last, but I think WEEKS and maybe does not have to be refrigerated (idk), but I am thinking it totally makes sense to make to make in high quantities. Thx.❤

[@jeffbee6090]

I'm not an expert but I'm guessing there's more different bacteria in kefir than in clotted milk... the kefir is creamier and a little "softer" taste.... BUT your method is great! when SHTF I can still easily make a kefir type of drink!

Maam please please write back because I liked your way very much. You have put 1 cup of milk in a glass jar kept in the light for 24 hrs and it has turned into curd. This you turned as kefir which tastes good and then you went about adding this into milk, us ut warm milk or cold milk and then the same outcome every day, is this kefir. Pjease write back I want to make your way instead of biting kefir but this I can do under your guidance so pjease help me I live in india. If you have a site with all details I would love to go that way too. Tku very much but please write back

[@lisapotter3052]

Thanks for your interesting video/experimenting although this obviously did not produce Kefir-grains but Buttermilk; Kefir grains look like tiny cauliflower and also tend to grow larger like that. For $10,- you can have fresh/non dehydrated Kefir starter bulbs delivered to your doorstep.

[@sheilam4964]

Do you know what 'semantics' means? Semantics has shown that a lot of the time brain cells drop dead during translation. What was historically called "kefir" is not likely what is "known" as kefir today. All in all it's all just fermented milk, with different strains of bacteria and funguses. What one Nationality called it may be different from the same thing in another Nationality but the bacteria and funguses it contains are the same. Sometimes (without scientific proof of the actual fermented milk from a few hundred years ago) the translation of "fermented milk" from one language to another, say Turkish or Russian to English, and because we have grown so homogenized, culturally as a global community, that we are now giving "fermented milk" many different names depending on a single country most famous for a particular group of bacteria and fungus in a particular fermented milk but in all honesty, it's all just semantics due to a lack of a better or more scientifically accurate naming method. What Immigrants brought to this country (or any country, for that matter) is their history and heritage no matter if you see it as being done correctly or not. By the way, it has been found that kefir in it's originating countries has many different bacteria and fungus variations in its "fermented milk" profiles that are all called "kefir". I hope this eases your need to exert your unfounded expertise which only highlights your short comings. Having said all that I must applaud you for your efforts to learn.

[@LizetSweetHome]

Thank you very much, is just like sourdough starter, you can make your own.

[@galinarou]

I just learned how to make sourdough starter from scratch and was surprised to find that you can also make kefir grains from scratch! With the legends about how kefir first began in the Balkan mountains I can't help but wonder if this is the way all cultures stored their milk before refrigeration. Maybe the tradition was simply preserved in the East and forgotten in the West.

you have found a streamlined way of getting clabbered milk, but that is not at all kefir. Teams of scientists have been trying to develop kefir grains and so far they have not succeeded. It is hard to do.

I have to agree with you. What she made was Cultured Buttermilk (I would guess bulgarian) but it is NOT kefir. BUT no worries. Buttermilk is AMAZING and delicious! People of the Plains and the South of USA have perfected Cultured Buttermilk to an art form! Great info in the video.....but it is NOT Kefir.

This is how people made kefir. Except it took many hundreds of years for the correct species to dominate the culture. Some time between the domestication of mammals in the near east and the culture boom in the ancient far east.

I'm confused. How does homogenized and pasteurized milk create any type of beneficial cultures? It kills all of the beneficial bacteria within the milk. That's why it sours so quickly when compared to raw dairy.

To make kefir you need kefir grains obtained from someone gifting you some or getting some from some other source. You can't just decide to manufacture kefir grains like you do sourdough bread. I got mine off etsy and since then I have gifted some to people and have several in my freezer just in case something happens to my active kefire culture.
